In a heated political controversy, the Congress has accused the Uttar Pradesh Police of targeting a woman Indian Youth Congress leader, Roshni Kushal Jaiswal, and her family.
The accusation follows Jaiswal's action against BJP worker Rajesh Singh, who allegedly made rape threats against her via social media. Despite Jaiswal's repeated complaints, Singh has faced no police action, prompting her to take matters into her own hands.
Jaiswal's response was swift and direct after the dismissed complaints. She slapped Singh twice, catalyzing a series of retaliatory legal complications for her family, including incarcerations and asset attachments. The Congress party vows to pursue this issue diligently, insisting it underscores a wider struggle for women's safety and justice against a backdrop of political rivalry.
